This was reported by the spokesman for the Eastern Group of the Ukrainian Armed Forces, Serhiy Cherevaty, in a commentary to CNN.

He noted that the need for such a decision is assessed by the command.
– “Only the command sees how necessary it is in this situation. And then the appropriate decision is made at a meeting of the Headquarters. I can say that there is no such decision now,” he emphasized.
Earlier, Deputy Minister of Defense of Ukraine Hanna Malyar said that reinforcements are being sent to Bakhmut, the situation remains tense.
